A non-polar molecule is a molecule that is symmetrical in the sense that the atoms on the outside pull equally on the central atom, thus not causing any differences in electronegativity.

How do you explain the phrase like dissolves like in terms of polar and nonpolar substances?
Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.
What is soluble in a nonpolar substance?
Typically nonpolar substances are soluble in other nonpolar substances. Like disolves like...
Can acetone and octane form a solution?
No. Acetone is a polar substance while octane is nonpolar. Polar and nonpolar substances will generally resist forming a solution.
How does turpentine dissolve oil paint chemically?
this is true because the oils attack the fumes in oil paints
You have a spot of oil which is nonpolar on your favorite shirt.in which substance will the oil be most likely to dissolve?
The oil is nonpolar, so it will be more likely to dissolve in a nonpolar substance. Substances such as gasoline, kerosene, or other nonpolar solvents would be more effective at dissolving the oil spot on your shirt.
How do you explain the phrase like dissolves like in terms of polar and nonpolar substances?
Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.
What are emulsions?
A polar and a nonpolar substance being made miscible together by another substance that has both polar and nonpolar characteristics.
What is soluble in a nonpolar substance?
Typically nonpolar substances are soluble in other nonpolar substances. Like disolves like...
What does it mean for a substance to be polar and nonpolar?
Non-polar substances have no charges (nonionic) while polar substances have charges (ionic)
Is human skin polar or nonpolar?
It is polar. That is why water sticks to your skin, unlike wax, a nonpolar substance.
What substance is a nonpolar molecule that is not soluble in water?
lipid
Is Ammonium nitrate a polar or nonpolar substance?
Polar.
What type of substance will dissolve in a nonpolar substance?
A non-polar substance will dissolve in a non-polar substance. Like dissolves like.
If an unknown solid substance is non polar will it matter if distilled or tap water is used to prepare a solution of this substance?
If the substance is nonpolar it will not dissolve in either distilled or tap water. It will not make a solution with water. You will have to use a nonpolar solvent.
Is peanut butter polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar. The fat molecules in peanut butter are nonpolar, that is why peanut butter doesn't evenly mix with water, a polar substance.
What does it mean when lipids are non-polar?
When a substance is polar it means that the molecules have a partial positive charge on one part of the molecule and a partial negative charge on the other. When a substance such as a lipid is nonpolar it means that it does not have this trait.
Can acetone and octane form a solution?
No. Acetone is a polar substance while octane is nonpolar. Polar and nonpolar substances will generally resist forming a solution.
